If any of you lucky guys who are attending can post some pictures from the event, I'm sure the rest of us would love to see them. I sure would...

Jay will there be a Road To Drag Week 2014?

Here is the only vid I got right now Friday night right off the trailer. My wife used her IPhone ran a 12,26@112mph. I forgot to turn on the gopro for the first pass today and ran a 12.10 I think 115ish.the second run I turned it on and got some carnage on it, I have to dig it out of the car. It looks like I broke the perches off the rear and the yoke is pointing strait up. Broke the front universal and beat the snot out of my aluminum driveshaft. Hope fully that's it and didnt hurt the tranny or anything else.

Well that really stinks! Sorry to hear about the breakage. Did you trailer it there? That's the reason I'd hate to drive my car to any racing event....no way to get back if there is a problem. I hope everything is ok, minus the front U-joint.

I`m gona try and get pics posted from the event this week. We got a few

Harry sorrry to hear you broke it.
I boxed mine a while ago after seeing guys break theirs, its really a quick weekend job, at least before they are broken :) ...sorry

Once you get it squared away recommend you box them if you don't go with an aftermarket housing

That's a really good idea Ross! I'll have to remember that... When I do up the Falcon.

Lots of really good pictures there. Wish I could have made it.
-
It was a blast!!! I was in Ford car guy heaven. I only wish I knew more people there. I did meet a few new people and had awesome conversations. :)
-
Ditto on the Ford car guy heaven. The only thing I'd do different next year would be to post beforehand to see who's going and to provide a means to meet for any who'd like to. Seems like an opportunity was missed there.
-
Thats A good idea, we do that on the Maverick forum that I`m also on. When ever there is a big event we do a "who is coming?" then try to meet at some time and put faces to names. I made some good buddies all over the world doin that. Maybe next yr we can try ;D
-
Hey guys, next year on Friday we are going to hand out name tags for the Beer & Brats meet & greet. That way we can all get to know each other better. It will be the type of stick on name tags that say "Hello, my name is -----" We will also provide the Sharpies to write your name on the tags.
This event is as much about the social interaction of us FE lovers as it is about he cars. That's why we call it a Race & Reunion!!!

Sounds right, enjoyed watching you run :D. We met, talked to and made friends thru beer and brats and the next day too. Grbmaverick we'll get it right next year. Watched some good video, gonna try to post a link here (hope it works!). This vid touches the whole event, including the scary but safe oil down by the comet. Happens toward the end of the video. BTW, seems to me the '58 taking off next to him rolled off the trailer on Saturday and calmly set low et at 9.01 then lit the red. If I'm wrong set the record straight.

Altho I have never raced the 427 car I certainly dumped the clutch in it especially with the small block...My perches rolled as well and I put some Calvert perches on...They are a really nicely done pc.I also split a pc of pipe and put it on the top of the housing and continued the perch welds (tig) all the way around....A little over protection...
While I was at it I took an inch out of each side of the housing,added a filler and put a brace on it..My narrowing fixture is still installed in the last pic
I feel for the guys who have it come apart on the starting line.It can be a trail of carnage......Cory
